Is there a way to load image as bitmap to Glide

Question

Im looking for a way to use bitmap as input to Glide. I am even not sure if its possible. It's for resizing purposes. Glide has a good image enhancement with scale. The problem is that I have resources as bitmap already loaded to memory. The only solution I could find is to store images to temporary file and reload them back to Glide as inputStream/file.. Is there a better way to achieve that ?

Please before answering .. Im not talking about output from Glide.. .asBitmap().get() I know that.I need help with input.

Here is my workaround solution:

 Bitmap bitmapNew=null;         try {             //             ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(ctx);             File directory = cw.getDir("imageDir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);             File file=new File(directory,"temp.jpg");             FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);             bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, fos);             fos.close();             //             bitmapNew = Glide                     .with(ctx)                     .load(file)                     .asBitmap()                     .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)                     .skipMemoryCache(true)                     .into( mActualWidth, mActualHeight - heightText)                     .get();              file.delete();         } catch (Exception e) {             Logcat.e( "File not found: " + e.getMessage());         } 

I'd like to avoid writing images to internal and load them again.That is the reason why Im asking if there is way to to have input as bitmap

Thanks

For version 4 you have to call asBitmap() before load()

GlideApp.with(itemView.getContext())         .asBitmap()         .load(data.getImageUrl())         .into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>() {             @Override             public void onResourceReady(Bitmap resource, Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {}             });         }

This solution is working with Glide V4. You can get the bitmap like this:

Bitmap bitmap = Glide     .with(context)     .asBitmap()     .load(uri_File_String_Or_ResourceId)     .submit()     .get(); 

Note: this will block the current thread to load the image.
